Sorry if this is not in the right forum.
Just finished a 5 day power outage in my area from an ice storm.
I have a Honda ES6500 and a smaller 3500 watt generator. Both need some minor repairs and so I thought I would pick up a new generator in the interim. I'm looking at a Honda EU6500 inverter generator. I have no knowledge of these inverter generators and I'm wondering if they can handle the load of the more traditional units. In particular I use my ES6500 to run our 3 hp well which is down 500 feet. Running current is 14.5 or so amps and I'm guessing it pulls 30 or more to start.
Anyone know if the inverter generators can handle the surge that the older units did?
Or, do you have any recommendations for a standby generator?
